Volunteer Experiences

I will never forget my experience of volunteering in Togo. The work was difficult but very satisfying. I never would have discovered so much about the country and the people as a tourist: volunteering is a perfect way to get a insight into a country.
(Edward, volunteer on renovation project in Togo)

This was my third volunteer project through Concordia, and I loved it just as much (if not more) than the others I have been on. I LOVE meeting like-minded people from all over the world, trying new work, and more than anything experiencing a real escape from my day-to-day life. After all, who couldn't benefit from a bit more adventure!
(Lorelei, Environmental volunteer in France)

"I had an amazing time. I met people from all over the world. Cooked for them
and was cooked for. Played games. Visited beautiful locations. Danced. Plenty
of photo opportunities. Got a sun tan, spent plenty of time out and about.
Saw fireworks on a beach. Drank, danced again. Worked hard, learnt about
the culture of the country and the region. Helped it, built a bridge for the first
time. Slept under the stars. I miss a lot of people". (Leal, volunteer on an
environmental project in France)

"Overall I thought it was a great experience in which so many different cultures
and nationalities bonded together. Hard work, but great fun, lots of laughs and
a great team atmosphere. I'll be doing another one! (Sarah, volunteer on an
environmental project in France)

"The experience was amazing, I learnt so much about other cultures and people.
Working with disabled people was so valuable in teaching me about life and what
is truly important" (Emma, volunteer on a social project in Belgium)

"It was one of the best experiences I have ever had and I would love to go back.
I made many great friends who I will keep in contact with. I had many new
experiences such as paint-balling, high ropes, jet skiing and many more. I loved
meeting international and local people. I learnt about other countries and their
cultures. I became more independent and my confidence has increased in many
different aspects. It was AMAZING!"
(Georgia, volunteer on a sport project in Estonia)

"An Amazing experience - I met so many people and the work was so satisfying.
It was tough at the time but now I reflect back I wouldn't have missed it for the
world. Even as an older volunteer everyone was great". (Nichola, volunteer on a
children project in Vietnam)

"My time on this project was indeed the best two weeks of my life! In know that
sounds cliched but I have never enjoyed myself more and would love to go
back. If you like working with kids then this is the project of dreams. Thank you
very much". (Thomas, volunteer on a renovation and teaching project in Vietnam)

"From this experience I have gained an increased knowledge of looking after
the environment and the importance of recycling. I have also learned a lot of
many cultures from around the world. I had the best time of my life. Thank you!".
(Patrick, volunteer on an environmental project in Italy)

"I really did not know what to expect with this project but I can safely say that
all aspects exceeded any expectations I did have. The group was unbelievable.
8 young people from 6 different countries whose only common language was
German. This was perfect. What an
amazing experience it was!" (Jennifer, volunteer on a social project in Germany)

"I had one of the best 3 weeks of my life. We all had so much fun and it was
interesting to meet and become friends with the people from all around the
world". (Chris, volunteer on an environmental project in Germany)

"Fantastic time, great project! Amazing people. Experience has totally made me
reflect where I am in my life and what I want to do. Thank you! Thank you!". (Kay,
volunteer on an environmental project in France)

"I had a brilliant time, I’ve improved my German and made some brilliant friends
from all over the world. I can take with me increased confidence, a brilliant
experience and a strong desire to lead a project in the future". (Ben, volunteer on
a construction project in France")

The experience opened my eyes to how others lived, worked, communicated and socialised, so much so that upon my return I have decided to have a complete change of career.
(Volunteer in Czech Republic)
